Fuel Truck Accident Lawyer

A fuel truck is any gas truck, tank truck or vehicle designed to carry liquefied loads on the road. Often these vehicles are semi-trailer trucks that carry gasoline or liquid fuel.

What Causes Fuel Truck Accidents?

With any large vehicle, fuel trucks can often cause major accidents. In the event of a crash, fuel trucks result in serious injuries or even death because of their size, weight and the dangerous substance the truck is hauling Fuel trucks often carry hazardous materials, which can spill onto the road, onto other vehicles, and cause critical damage. Flammable materials may catch on fire or explode, which increases the risk of accident related injury.

Sometimes the fuel truck carries a pressurized tank, which can also increase the risk of damage and explosion. If a truck was carrying toxic materials, a team of hazardous material professionals will arrive on the scene to contain any dangerous chemicals. However, explosions from these accidents can be large and extremely dangerous for anyone involved.
